Is it ok to remove/refit them using the old injector seals?
I still don't understand how a leaky injector could cause blue smoke though?
But I thought blue smoke was Oil not Diesel?
Tappets are set correctly, not checked pump timing.
I worked as a mechanic for 5 years (not done it for years mind!) but only on Petrols, and mainly classic Aircooled ones at that. The smoke smells just like burnt oil in an Aircooled engine that's overheated, tinged with Diesel. That's the best way I can describe it, lol.
I understand diesel is a fuel oil but surely a lot would need to be leaking to cause blue rather than black or white smoke on startup?
